"Day and night Jews were being shot in the streets and in public places, even in their own homes." - Vladka Meed

Reaction: This was a very powerful statement to me. Not only were innocent Jews being murdered, but they were killed surrounded by others and even family, for all to see. This shows the supreme cruelty and evil in the Nazis, who simply enjoyed exterminating the Jews.**


 * //Chris k.- this was the quote i also did it is amazing no matter who or what you are and no matter your status that if the people hate you you are going to die no matter were it iis or who it is front of these kind of people really had no feelings and could do anything they wanted with out remorse.

Lauren F.- I agree with you that this quote was a very powerful statement. No one deserves to be treated cruel for any reason. The nazis simply did not care about them or if they killed the Jews right infront of their own family members.//**

//**Jared M.- I definately agree with your opinion! It is rediculous that the Nazis were brazen enough to just kill the Jews anywhere, including inside their houses. I also find it amazing how the Nazi men lived with themselves after committing such terrible things as is expressed in this quote.**//

//**"I pinched my face. Was I still alive? Was I awake? I could not believe it. How could it be possible for them to burn people, children, and for the world to be silent?" - Elie Wiesel**//


 * Reaction: This is a clear example of the disbelief that followed the Jews to all of the camps. It was nearly incomprehendable what horrors were committed at these camps, but above all, the world remained silent through it all. The truth is unfortunate, but it is something we must face in order to prevent it from ever happening again.**

This statement never fails to horrify me. I cannot imagine what people thought as they watched children being burned alive. M. Fegan

Nuremberg

I found the trials amazing because the amount of evidence against the men was overwhelming, yet every single one of them pleaded not guilty. They were all very aware of what they had done, but few of them actually confessed to their crimes. Goering for example even went as far to state that he knew nothing about the murders of the Jews, which is as far fetched as possible. There was no way he could not know about the extermination as the second hand man to Hitler. However, I do feel that the trials were biased. One of the Soviet leaders was on the Judge's panel and he simply wanted them all to die. Even though it was a trial for war crimes, it was very different due to the extermination. The defendants merely stated that they were there because they lost the war, but I felt that many of the men were guilty of crimes against humanity. The movie was surprisingly interesting for as long as it was, especially for being about trials. THis event is so historic and fascinating. I am anxious to read some of the trial transcripts because there was no way to cram everything in this movie. M. Fegan
